A common problem of "less is more" in specs is 
that active imaginations fill in the 
details just like an off-camera romantic interlude in a 
G-rated movie or a slasher scene in a horror 
flick.  The results depend on the 
events leading up to that unstated assumption.

We can't blame the web.  This is true in 
any medium.  The problem is actually the 
use of URLs for namespace disambiguation. 
It works but it wonks as as well.

I agree with the irony, but the real irony is that anyone might be surprised
that this is a prevailing view of namespaces outside the development
community.
